Benefits of technology

[0007]Using the historical transactions associated with a user-specified vehicle configuration, desired pricing information may be obtained. In many cases, however, there may be fewer historical transactions than is desired to generate reliable or accurate predictions for a specified vehicle. Such data scarcity may occur in the cases of a vehicle model which is relatively new to the market or is an exotic of which few models are sold. To increase the accuracy of determined pricing data, it may be useful to apply different or additional price ratio models that leverage incremental data.

Problems solved by technology

Abstract

Embodiments of systems and methods for the aggregation, analysis, display and monetization of pricing data for commodities in general, and which may be particularly useful applied to vehicles are disclosed. In certain embodiments, one or more models may be applied over a set of historical transaction data associated with a vehicle configuration to determine pricing data. Some models may leverage incremental data in various conditions, including cases where fewer than a desired number of historical transactions are present in the bin of a specified vehicle, where fewer than, equal to, or more than a certain number of list prices for the specified vehicle available, and where no historical transaction data for new models is available.
